Is there a message in your Book that you want readers to grasp?

Ubi, and it can also be used for 'when', depending on the circumstances. 'Where' in the sense of 'whither; to what place' is quo (e.g. Quo vadis, 'where are you going?'). 'Whe…nce; from where' is unde.(MORE)

In Latin, the word life is "vita", and to live, as a verb, is translated as "vivere". Another verb for for live is "habitare" which means to live as in inhabit or dwell. If yo…u mean 'alive' as an adjective (opposed to dead), it's 'vivus'.(MORE)

The verb "are" is the present indicative singular/plural form of the infinitive verb "to be" in English, however, "are" can be used for several different persons. Latin verbs,… unlike English, are sensitive to the person or object they follow. In Latin "to be" is the verb "esse" and is conjugated in the present indicative tense as follows: I am - sum You are (sing.) - es He/she is - est We are - sumus You are (pl.) - estis They are -sunt(MORE)

Latin roots are a part of everyday speech and a component of the English language. Although you can say that English is a living and ever-changing language, Latin is not. It i…s not widely used; however, it is the foundation for many of the words we say. Many of the English words used every day have an element or root from the Latin language.Some words you use every day come from Latin variations. For example, the word "prima" in Latin means "first." We use variations such as prime, primitive, and primary. The Latin word "habere" means "have."We use words like have, habitual and habit. The Latin word "bona" means "good." We use words such as bonus, bona fide, and bonanza.The word "beata" in Latin means "happy." We use variations of it such as beatific, beatify and beatitude.The Latin word for quiet is "quieta." We use words like quiet and quietness.Some words are less commonly used today even if they have a strong Latin base. For example, the Latin word for small is "parva." English words that fit this variation include parval and parvanimity. The Latin word for "near to" is "pulchra." In English, another version is "pulchritude."There are many options. For example, "est" in Latin means "is." We use estate, essence, and establish.The Latin word for picture is "pictura." Other variations include picture, pictorial, and picturesque. The Latin word for wide or broad is "lata." English derivatives include latitude, latitudinal, and lateral.Latin roots are a key component of the English language. In fact, about 60 percent of the English language comes from Latin at some level. When writing words, challenge yourself to see the Latin components in those you write. If you do not know them, it may be time to study them. This could help you to improve spelling and understanding of complex words.You can use the dictionary to find the Latin roots for words. When you get confused, keep the following statement in mind. Barbara Holland once wrote that Latin was "the scalpel in the hand for dissection English." She included this in her book, "When All the World Was Young."(MORE)

Latin is one of the so-called "dead" languages because it's no longer used as an active language that's in everyday use. This is not to be confused with "extinct" languages, w…hich are no longer spoken anywhere in the world. But even though Latin is considered a dead language, it's by no means less important. Latin is the basis for many of the most widely used languages in the world today, such as Spanish, Italian, and French, for instance. Latin terms are also widely used in science and it's still spoken in religious circles to discuss ancient religious texts that were originally written in Latin. But to learn Latin, it's not necessary to retire to a monastery. In fact, you can learn Latin online right from the comfort of home.Before you dive into Latin, you need to determine which specific variation will serve your needs best. Most people prefer to learn classical Latin because that is the language in which most of the great works of art produced during the time of the Roman Empire are written in. You'll also run across various words that were part of spoken Latin of the time, called vulgar Latin, though most writers preferred the elegance of classical Latin and used that instead. There are other variations of Latin which evolved with time, such as medieval and Renaissance Latin, but which are no longer in use. Modern Latin is still used by the Holy See at the Vatican and in religious services where Latin is used. For most intents and purposes, classical Latin is where you'll find the largest amount interesting material to read.To learn the most widely used form of Latin, focus on texts that range between 1086 and 1733. The reason is because this is the time Latin was the official language and was at its strongest. Be aware that this is a long period of time for a language to evolve, so not all texts will read perfectly using classical Latin.As with any language, you'll get out of it the effort that you put into it. That said, learning Latin online is not only convenient, but a great way to get started because of the wealth of resources you'll find online, most often free. Since many words in the English vocabulary share roots with words of Latin origin, it is best you start with those. There are communities of Latin learners of all skill levels that will provide conversation and a place to share your interest in the language.In addition to forums, you can check out a number of training aids online. From YouTube videos to websites, you can create a mix of teaching aids that suit your style. Some of the sites you may want to visit include Surface Languages, Teach and Learn Latin, and Learn Langs.Even though it's considered a "dead" language, Latin still enjoys a wide popularity. Latin forms the basis of many popular languages in use today. To learn Latin, you need to commit yourself to improving your knowledge every day, just as if you were learning any other language. There is a wealth of information and resources that will enable you to learn Latin online.Once you start getting a feel for Latin, it's a good idea to start reading and "thinking" in Latin as much as possible. One such forum where you can practice your Latin skills can be found online at Schola.(MORE)

As young children, we grow up learning the language of our homes. We begin to learn it while we are constantly immersed in it, and then we go to school to learn the language r…ules and to become proficient in using it properly. If you were not lucky enough to begin learning a foreign language as a young child (as many of us were not), you are likely to find it difficult to learn one as you get older. Since Latin was probably not the language you grew up using, there are a variety of Latin programs and courses to help you to master it, from software, to online forums and lectures, to a deep study in the history-laden Rome itself, and these programs are discussed in more detail below.Rosetta Stone is the popular language-learning software series that is touted as helping people learn a new language the natural way. By taking the "learn by doing" approach and immersing the user directly in the language (as opposed to offering lists of vocabulary words and grammar rules), Rosetta Stone's Latin program is both fun and effective. The course comes with three levels, each of which is estimated to take about 40 to 50 hours to get through, though each person is given the freedom to move at their own pace and to put as much time and effort into it as desired. If you spend the $379 for the Latin program and find it is not for you, Rosetta Stone provides a 6-month guarantee during which you can get your money back.The Cambridge School Classics Project is a non-profit department of the University of Cambridge that offers independent online Latin courses to anyone, anywhere. With multiple courses available, the first of which is suitable for complete beginners, the Latin program aims to teach the language for reading comprehension purposes as well as to help students to understand the Roman civilization. Taking a course requires paying an enrollment fee and purchasing the textbooks and the Cambridge School Classics Project provides a course outline, online resources and an e-tutor who is there for help, support and to grade your work.The Virtual School of Languages is an online project from the non-profit organization, UniLang, which focuses on helping people learn all sorts of languages. It is a community of people who are dedicated to teaching and learning languages, and the free online Latin program is no exception. There are nearly 50 lessons, complete with testing material, a suggested study process, learning resources and the Virtual School forum and tutor contact information for questions and test grading.The Linguistics Research Center from the University of Texas at Austin offers an online Latin course that is suitable for beginners who are particularly interested in learning how to read Latin texts. The series offers 10 lessons in addition to an introduction, and it is formatted as organized and detailed lecture notes. With each lesson, a piece of classic Latin text is presented that is translated to English, and it is analyzed to emphasize lessons on grammar and syntax.The Latin and Greek Study Groups provide multiple study groups at various experience and knowledge levels to which you can join by subscribing to it. Each group has leaders that guide the agendas, assignments and discussions for the group. When every member of the study group (who may all be at different experience levels) contributes to the forum, and when it is complemented by feedback from knowledgeable leaders, it provides a unique and rewarding learning environment. To help you in your studies, online resources for finding Latin texts and aiding in their translation are offered as well.The Paideia Institute's Living Latin in Rome program is a 5-week summer course that combines traditional classroom instruction with the active use of the language while visiting historical sites of Ancient Rome. It is an intensive program that offers 20 hours of Latin language instruction each week. Admission into this program, however, does require an already intermediate comprehension of Latin.Latin, like Ancient Greek, is a Classical language out of our history, though Classical only represents one period of Latin literature. Latin is thought to be one of the easiest of the old languages for speakers of English to learn because many English legal, political and medical terms are based in Latin words, and the languages share an alphabet. You are bound to recognize much more Latin than you thought you knew because of its connection to the modern English language, so take advantage of the Latin programs that match what you are looking for and keep the Latin language alive.Learning a new language takes time, dedication and most importantly, practice. Forming a study group with friends, family members, other students or an online community of others who are learning or teaching the language and practicing using the language directly with them is a great learning strategy.(MORE)

Latin is said to be a dead language, and is rarely, if ever, used in today's world outside of the legal, science, religion, and medical communities. However, the letters of th…e Latin alphabet are important to be remembered because each is related to the English alphabet. Although Latin is not often used in today's world, there are still thousands of texts in Latin that are important parts of history, and the Latin language still needs to be remembered. It has deep roots in several other cultures, and has influenced several of today's languages. Without it, the world would be very different from what it is, and the languages currently spoken would most likely not look, or sound, the same.Legend has it that the Cimmerian Sibyl, Carmenta, took the Greek alphabet and altered 15 of the letters to create the Latin alphabet. Supposedly, Carmenta's son introduced this new alphabet into Latium about 60 years prior to the Trojan war, but this tale is hard to prove and historically, has little no base. Modern linguists believe that the Latin alphabet evolved from a series of adaptations from one ancient language to another until Latin was formed.The most common believe is that the Romans adopted the Cumae alphabet, which is a variation of the Greek alphabet; however, the ancient Greek alphabet itself was based upon another alphabet, the Phoenician alphabet. The Cumae alphabet that the Romans adopted was eventually turned into the Etruscan alphabet that the Romans used, eventually adopting 21 of the 26 letters of the Etruscan alphabet.The Archaic Latin alphabet continued to change, most likely under the supervision or influence of Etruscan, and letters continued to evolve until he was satisfied. The alphabet slowly expanded until there were 23 letters in the Latin alphabet. The last two letters added to this version of the Latin alphabet were added around 1 B.C.The Latin alphabet continued to change and evolve well into the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and new rules for the Latin language were also still evolving. The Germanic language has had some influence on the development of the Latin language, but Latin has also had influence on other languages, such as modern English.. Today, Latin generally uses letters that are capitals the way the letters are used in modern English, and the Latin alphabet makes up the English language.The Latin alphabet, also called the Roman alphabet, has been on an extremely long journey since its invention around 7 B.C. Without Latin developing through the ages the way it did, modern English would not exist. Latin influenced, or was influenced, by so many languages that it really has touched most of the modern or ancient languages that are known today in some way. So, even though Latin is considered a dying language and is mainly used in today's world when reading old texts or learning legal language, it will still live on in all the languages that are used today that it has influenced.Italian and French have about an 89 percent overlap in the characteristics and root origins as Latin, and both languages have a huge number of similar words. Other languages also have a significant overlap with Latin, including Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian.(MORE)

Latin is an inflected language that has grammatical endings on its nouns. The stem of the noun or the form of the genitive singular determines how the inflections of the nouns… are grouped. These noun inflection groups are the Latin noun declensions. In Latin, nouns have gender, case, and are either singular or plural. The cases to determine what ending will be used are nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, and vocative.The nominative case shows who is doing the action and marks the subject of the statement. For example, Ruth is running across the lawn. Ruth is my aunt. This can also be used for the predicate such as the "my" in the sentence about Ruth being my aunt. The nominative singular is used for the reference form of the word. The nominative is used to show the person, place, or thing that is doing the action.The genitive is used to show possession, source, or measurement. Many times the use of this one corresponds to the use of prepositions like "of" in English and the English "possessive" case. The case is also used when in English you would use an apostrophe "s" to show possession. For example, "Mary's shoes."This case denotes the recipient of the action or the indirect object of the verb. In English the correspondence is "to" and "for" although these two prepositions are used in many other cases that do not correspond to the dative case in Latin. The dative indicates "for whom" the action is occurring or the quality exists. If a word can be either ablative or dative and does not have a preposition, then it is dative if it is a person, and ablative if it is a thing.The accusative case denotes the direct object of the verb. This case is also ruled by some other prepositions. It sets the end of the action. For example, if you were kicking the ball, the end of the action is the kicking. If you were traveling to California, California is the end of the action and you would use an accusative ending on California to show that.The ablative case shows separation, indirection, or the way an action is done. If you were doing this in English you would use "by, with, from, in, and on." There are three basic forms of the ablative in Latin: proper, instrumental, and locative. There are three forms of the proper form: ablative of separation, ablative of source, ablative of agent, and ablative of comparison.The vocative case is used to address someone by their name in Latin or directly. For example, "Sally, please pass the salt." In English we set the person's name off by a comma, but in Latin there is the separate case the vocative case that is used.Learning Latin will mean you must learn the declensions of the nouns. You will have to memorize the actual declensions or memorize the rules of how the declensions are done. Each noun can be masculine, feminine, or neuter. Each noun also has a case which can be nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, or vocative. Additionally, you must decide on whether the noun is singular or plural. Once you have all three you will be able to attach the right ending to your Latin noun.Latin came from the prehistoric language that was spoken in the Latium region. This region was near the River Tiber and was where the Roman civilization first developed. It is not known how and when the Romans began speaking Latin, but it became their official language.(MORE)

There are many good reasons to learn Latin, from a casual interest in Latin classics to a desire to understand the complex roots of modern European languages that emerged out …of Latin. However, the chances of finding a Latin teacher in the local area are rarely high, leading many people to learn the language through distance learning. These tips will help you get the best out of your distance learning program for Latin.Latin is a difficult, complex language to learn, and it can be made even harder if the program that you are on is poorly structured. Avoid jumping into the first program that you come across. Instead, you should take time to consider the reviews and testimonies of people who have been through each of the available courses to ensure that it is suitable for your learning style. Selecting a good program from the beginning will make it easier to get motivated to practice the language once you have begun.As a language, Latin is more than 2000 years old and is very far removed from modern English, especially in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. Although this is true of all languages, it is particularly true of Latin because the language has been dead for many centuries. As a result, many of the grammatical rules can appear highly foreign to the beginner. Be prepared to spend plenty of time working through these complexities when you first begin.Since you will be learning Latin by distance, you will not have formal classes and all the discipline that often comes along with them. The key to learning any language over distance learning is to be disciplined, practicing the language frequently and for considerable stretches of time. In the case of Latin, since it is not a spoken language, the discipline required is even greater, as you must be ready to sit down and practice writing the language.To excel at Latin, you must practice consistently. It is better to practice the language for 15 minutes twice a week than it is to practice just once a month for an hour each time. Complete the exercises set by your distance learning program studiously, and if you have the time to spare, consider attempting simple translation work from well-known classics such as Cicero and Virgil.Latin has become something of a secret language among esoteric scholars and writers. There are plenty of popular books that have been translated from English into Latin, including the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. If you love titles such as these, an excellent complement to your distance learning program could include reading the Latin and English versions of the same book side by side to help you understand how the language operates.An important but often overlooked aspect of learning a language is the necessary humility to ask questions. In a classroom environment, this is easier, since your teacher and classmates are readily present beside you. On a distance learning course, you will need to make the extra effort to ask these questions. You could ask the Laitin teacher directly, or you could use one of the many Latin forums on the Internet to clarify any doubts that you may have about the language.Finally, be patient. Latin is a difficult language to learn. Many students often joke that the sheer difficulty of the language was the sole reason for the collapse of the Roman Empire. However gifted you may be in learning other languages, be prepared to go a bit slower when it comes to Latin. It is easy to get discouraged if you are overly ambitious about your aims in learning Latin. Instead, you should aim to progress gradually.Learning Latin through a distance learning program may be the only option for many people who do not have a Latin teacher or Latin classes close at hand. However, in no way is long distance learning a disadvantage for the student. With the discipline to practice and the humility to ask questions, you will be able to pick up Latin at a gradual pace. Most importantly, you should be patient as you learn the language, since it is one of the more difficult languages to pick up.Many modern European languages have their roots in Latin. Spanish and Italian are extremely close to Latin, while French also has its origins in Latin. While English is technically a Germanic language, it nonetheless traces many words back to Latin as well.(MORE)

Do you mean the Latin translation of the English word child? Liberi, liberorum/liberum (usually used in the plural). Not to be confused with the adjective liber, libera, liber…um (free), the noun liber, libri (book), or the nouns libertus, liberti (freedman) and liberta, libertae (freedwoman). (MORE)

I doubt there is a direct translation for jubilant (see paragraph below for why), but you could say "laetissimus" (pronounced light-iss-im-uss), the superlative of "Laetus", w…hich means happy. Being the superlative, "laetissimus" means very happy. English is a somewhat unusual language in that it has many words for the same concept i.e. to convey "big", one could say big, large, massive, enormous, huge, gargantuan, colossal et cetera. (As an aside, "Et cetera" is Latin for "and the others/ the rest.") Latin, on the other hand, does not; there is probably no direct translation for jubilant, which is one of the many words in English for happy. Instead, there are a handful of Latin words meaning happy, to be modified to suit the degree of happiness. TLDR: "Laetissimus", pronounced light-iss-(as in hiss, not is)-im-uss(as in bus, not us)(MORE)
